U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald introduced a discussion draft to give the FTC and DOJ exclusive authority over interstate or international merger reviews, limiting state attorneys general from challenging such mergers after federal approval.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clearer federal pathway for interstate merger approvals as the FTC and DOJ gain sole authority over challenges. State-level delays on cross-border deals should shrink, speeding market entry if your merger extends beyond one state.
